What the CAS number does and does not tell you
A CAS number identifies the substance, not a commercial grade. Calcium lignosulfonates from different producers and grades share CAS 8061-52-7 but differ in lignosulfonate content, sugar, insoluble matter and other properties. On a purchase order, name the grade code and its TDS revision as well, for example GAC-CaLS-1. Export documents are explained in calcium lignosulfonate HS code and export documents.
Specifications, TDS and MSDS for our grades are on the calcium lignosulfonate (CAS 8061-52-7) product page.
